Title : Uniform Resource Name (URN) Syntax
Author(s) : A. Hoenes
Filename : draft-ah-rfc2141bis-urn-00.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 2010-03-25
Uniform Resource Names (URNs) are intended to serve as persistent,
location-independent, resource identifiers. This document serves as
the foundation of the 'urn' URI Scheme according to RFC 3986 and sets
forward the canonical syntax for URNs, which subdivides URNs into
"namespaces". A discussion of both existing legacy and new
namespaces and requirements for URN presentation and transmission are
presented. Finally, there is a discussion of URN equivalence and how
to determine it. This document supersedes RFC 2141.
The requirements and procedures for URN Namespace registration
documents are currently set forth in RFC 3406, which is also expected
to be updated by an independent, revised specification soon.
Discussion
This draft version has been obtained by importing the text from RFC
2141 into modern tools and making a first round of updating steps.
It is intended to serve as one of the starting points for an effort
to bring URN RFCs in alignment with STD 63, STD 68, BCP 26, and the
requirements from emerging distributed national and international URN
resolution systems, and advance them on the IETF Standards Track.
Until a more specific mailing list is established, comments are
welcome on the uri-review@ietf.org mailing list (or sent to the
document editor).
